It repeatedly served alcohol when alcohol sales were banned. It opened after being ordered closed. Now Sky Mountain, the renegade Pattaya bar whose owner feels no law applies to him, may have its deed revoked.
No business in Pattaya has had as many lives as Sky Mountain, which has been raided six times and slapped with a 30-day closure order when similar venues would have been closed permanently after the second offense.
But it appears that Sky Mountain’s favors, connections and luck have been exhausted, with Pattaya City Hall only now declaring that 35 percent of the bar’s property intrudes on Khao Pratamnak public land.
The land, ironically, was leased to Acha Land Co., one of the firms that sold property to the developers of the failed Waterfront Suites and Residence.
Pattaya officials posted a demolition order on Sky Mountain Dec. 28. If history holds, that order, too, will be ignored and Sky Mountain will be serving booze again with no one in city hall or the Pattaya Police Station worrying too much.
